Comments Thread For: Spence's Trainer: This Fight is 'Going To Be Hell' For Mikey Garcia

No Garcia isn't lol. And it's MIKEY. not miCKey. Not once has anyone said what flaw it is they think spence has that MIKEY sees. It's B.S.

First, this is not a grammar class. Second, when I said he not lying is because I analyze some holes in Spence that Garcia can exploit and I draw that conclusion as a boxing fan. Like some other users who have analyze Spence have some holes and drew their own conclusion in this site that Garcia can do to make the upset. I am not the first and I am not the last.

War Mikey but he's getting hurt here. Nice to see Spence and his team being respectful. I'm sure they're just happy someone with a name would take the fight. Even if it's a total mismatch.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Troll. Go away.

sure,

lets forget spence best win is what brook who was outboxing him till his previous injuries showed up again.

or the great almighty phil lo greco who got Knocked out in 1round by the 1st punch the Almighty Amir Khan threw.

Size may end up making the difference for Spence, but boxing talent is why I'd place this at a 50/50 fight. Mikey seems to have a bit more technical boxing skills and speed than Spence. But, to keep Spence off him... how well will Mikey's power travel with him up 2 divisions? Looking forward to a great fight, and hoping Mikey makes history. Manny has dominated bigger fighters a few times, and I think Mikey has a decent chance to do the same. We'll find out soon enough.

This is the best fight out there at the moment. It’s a massive gamble for both men however, it’s spence who has to prove something here.
Mikey is jumping up but is technically far better I think whereas Errol spence is fighting the smaller man who will have his first fight at the weight. Spence is very good but let’s not get too excited because he has a single name of note on his ticket and that’s Kell Brook.
We know kells orb bone was damaged in the triple g fight and in my view ruined his career. Welterweight is too bigger demand but he still did great against spence and since then, Errol has done little to impress but still a way to go and if he gets past mikey, many of us will still be saying “Garcia was a light welter” but, BUT, mikey Garcia does can and WILL turn up for a fight.
I’m goin with mikey on points.

This has probably been mentioned....

It should be hell for the smaller guy moving up.

I'm curious to see if Mikey can hurt Spence.

After this fight we need the Crawford fight. I don’t care how it gets done

Yep. There is no better match. Spence is coming into the prime of his career and Crawford is at the prime with several fights behind him after moving up. This fight is a HUGE bout, and career defining for either man that wins it. It is the type of fight that enticed Crawford up to 147, and why Spence is still at 147.

I like Garcia, but this is not a legit challenge. Spence and Crawford is the fight. Both need to tell their promotional teams to man up and make it happen, television rights be forgotten.

You are the first person I have seen pick Garcia straight up. Props to you if Garcia wins.

I worry about the body shots...and I think we all know that the longer the fight goes the harder it's going to get for Garcia. I think it's too much. But huge props and mad respect.

He's gotta try and work the tempo down, make it a thinking man's fight. Use the pinpoint accuracy to get the respect...and repeat for 33 more minutes!!

I think it will be a much better fight than most too, but saying 50/50 is too close for me. I would say 60/40 in favor of Spence. I like both fighters, so hopefully it lives up to be a great fight. Mikey vs Pac would have been closer to 50/50, with Mikey having the edge. Why he went after Spence I have no idea. Either he sees something he can exploit or his ego is much bigger than it should be.
